I have a Pentium !!! 1.13 Ghz with 384 mb of ram intel motherboard pc is 3 years old. I tried to install it from the live cd but it stoped the installation when i reached 51% the next time it stoped at 50% and so on. I think the cd rom is not installing it well and it heat up very quikly when I install ubuntu but for other operations it works well such as to installing windows XP.
can i copy the setup to a 1 Gb usb drive and boot it as primary and install ubuntu to my pc.

i built a computer with a pentium d dual core 3.2 ghz 250gb western digital hdd dvd burner and a gig of ram. i bought windows xp home edition and when i boot from the cd to install it it goes to the black screen then the blues wndows setup screen and loads things at the bottom. but sometimes it will stop and just stay there forever sometimes it wont even get to the blue screen, i noe its no the dvd drive because i’ve tried drives from other computers i know work and it does the same thing. also i tried a linux live cd and that worked fine. icalled microsoft but they said since it was OEM ineeded to pay $35 for them to help me.
PLEASE HELP

Well the computer is a P4, 512 ram, and its around 3ghz. Ive tried ubuntu, linux mint, and they run but pretty slow. I dont want damn small linux cause i tried that and the mouse is really weird on it. Any other suggestions? I want it to run smooth from the live cd.
I have an old Windows ME machine that I want to put Linux on. It’s got 128mb of RAM and a P3 processor @ about 1 Ghz.
I DO NOT want a live CD Linux, I have plenty of those that work.
I have tried and failed at getting these distros to install: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint, and TurboLinux.
Is there a good non-live CD distro that has very small system requirements?

I’m wanting to try and get my new aluminium Intel iMac 2.4ghz with 24″ screen to run some linux live cd’s, not interested in running a dual or trip-boot system yet, just wanting to test the waters, but haven’t had much luck finding any that work yet…..Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!
Although the first answer is helpful, I repeat, I DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL LINUX AT THIS TIME, I JUST WANT TO TEST LIVE CD’S, Thank you.
